Adopting Article Iv: Can Consumers Afford To Rely On The Banks' Good Faith?, Robert A. Fricks
Mercer Law Review
In 1990 the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute approved comprehensive changes to Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C."). These changes will greatly impact consumer transactions and alter the relationship between banks and their customers. As of December 1994, thirty-six states had adopted the revised Articles. While most states adopted them as written, some have made changes which provide the consumer with greater protection. The Georgia General Assembly will soon address the issue of whether to adopt the new Articles. At issue is whether the revisions warrant added consumer …

China's Gatt Bid: Why All The Fuss About Currency Controls, Chris Brown
China's Gatt Bid: Why All The Fuss About Currency Controls, Chris Brown
Washington International Law Journal
China did not succeed in its bid to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) during the Uruguay Round. A key stumbling block was China's mechanism of exchange rate controls. From the mid-1980s to the end of 1993, China used a dual-rate currency mechanism, administering these rates through a loose network of about 100 exchange centers ("swap centers"). The swap centers helped to create partial convertibility of the Chinese currency and were instrumental in creating incentives for China's exporters and in attracting foreign investment. However, the swap centers also caused trade conflicts with the U.S. and within GATT. …
The Integration Of Banking And Telecommunications: The Need For Regulatory Reform, Kalpak S. Gude
The Integration Of Banking And Telecommunications: The Need For Regulatory Reform, Kalpak S. Gude
Federal Communications Law Journal
The recent proliferation of computer and telecommunications technologies have dramatically changed the banking industry's business sector. While this modernization has allowed banks to increase their efficiency and service, banking regulations have not kept pace. Telecommunications companies, armed with new FCC regulations encouraging increased competition, have eagerly taken this opportunity to expand their business offerings into the financial services sector. In this Note, the Author examines the telecommunications services presently provided by banks and the present regulatory structure that prevents further bank entry into the telecommunications sector. The Author concludes that banking regulations should be changed to allow banks to enter …
Community Development Banking Strategy For Revitalizing Our Communities, Rochelle E. Lento
Community Development Banking Strategy For Revitalizing Our Communities, Rochelle E. Lento
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
CDCUs and CDLFs may outnumber CDBs, but their scope of lending activity pales in comparison. Despite CDBs' relatively small number, their impact on their respective communities warrants an in-depth discussion of their structures and formulas for success. This Article will provide an overview of the CDBs in the United States. Part I first sets forth the legal structure and purpose of CDBs, and then reviews the history and current status of mature CDBs and emerging CDBs. Part II considers community development credit unions, after which Part III gives community development loan funds similar treatment. Finally, Part IV analyzes the potential …

Subordination Agreements, Bruce Macdougall
Subordination Agreements, Bruce Macdougall
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Subordination agreements are not novel concepts in Canadian law, but the PPSAs ensure their more widespread use. Subordination agreements usefully provide flexibility to creditors and consequently permit enhanced access to credit for debtors. The adaptability of the subordination agreement presents difficult legal problems, the most important of which relates to characterization of their legal nature. Other problems include the resolution of multiple subordinations and the question of the enforceability of subordination agreements in bankruptcy. This paper explores those issues and cautions against undue restrictions being placed on either the availability or the characterization of subordination agreements.

Privatization In Eastern Germany: A Comprehensive Study, Rainer Frank
Privatization In Eastern Germany: A Comprehensive Study, Rainer Frank
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
One of the greater problems arising from the reunification of Germany has been the privatization of land in eastern Germany. Initially, the principle that shaped the privatization policies was restitution, the idea that land unlawfully taken by the former East German government should be returned to its rightful owner. A second goal of the privatization program was to stimulate investment in the economy of eastern Germany. These two goals, however, have conflicted. The result has been a policy that has created confusion with regard to the ownership of property and clear title. This Article examines two series of amendments, in …
Incentives For Peace And Profits: Federal Legislation To Encourage U.S. Enterprises To Invest In Arab-Israeli Joint Ventures, Daniel Lubetzky
Incentives For Peace And Profits: Federal Legislation To Encourage U.S. Enterprises To Invest In Arab-Israeli Joint Ventures, Daniel Lubetzky
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article proposes a set of provisions that would encourage U.S. companies and entities to invest in joint ventures with Israeli and Arab partners in the Middle East. The immediate effect of these provisions would be to revive and fortify the economies of that region. The long-term objectives behind the enactment of such incentives would be threefold: (1) to improve the prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East; (2) to enhance the strategic and political standing of the United States in the Middle East; and (3) to increase the long-term international competitiveness of U.S. businesses.

Regulatory Theory And Deposit Insurance Reform, R. Mark Williamson
Regulatory Theory And Deposit Insurance Reform, R. Mark Williamson
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this article, however, is not to summarize the maze of federal and state banking regulation. Instead, recognizing that deposit insurance is a centerpiece of the overall regulatory scheme to which any financial institution in the United States is subject, this article is primarily concerned with subjecting this form of bank regulation to analysis based upon general principles of regulatory theory. This article is less concerned with the details of banking law than it is with using regulatory to shape policy guidelines for the coming process of deposit insurance reform.
The Engines Of Privatization: Investment Funds And Fund Legislation In Privatizing Economies, Matthew J. Hagopian
The Engines Of Privatization: Investment Funds And Fund Legislation In Privatizing Economies, Matthew J. Hagopian
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The mass privatization programs of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have been designed as the centerpieces of the momentous transformation of the region's command economies to principles of market forces. The programs are designed to distribute shares in thousands of state-owned enterprises amongst hundreds of millions of citizens for free or for nominal payment, thereby creating a revolutionary class of citizen-shareholders with a strong stake in the privatization process. From the inception of the first wave of large-scale privatization in Czechoslovakia, investment funds' have played a central role in the successes and failures of the varying mass privatization …
The Globalization Of Stock Index Futures: A Summary Of The Market And Regulatory Developments In Stock Index Futures And The Regulatory Hurdles Which Exist For Foreign Stock Index Futures In The United States, William J. Brodsky
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The twelve-year history of stock index futures contracts has been marked by great success both in the United States and in many other countries. Two years after the product was introduced in 1982, the "notional," i.e., underlying, or dollar value of trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) S&P 500 Stock Price Index futures contract surpassed the dollar volume of trading at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).' Moreover, "as investors go increasingly global and market turbulence grows, stock index futures are emerging as the favorite way for nimble money managers to deploy their funds. Indeed, in most major markets, …

Judicial Construction In The Wake Of The Nation's S & (And) L Crisis: Build A Better Status And The Fdic Will Beat A Path To Your Courtroom, Alison L. Drake
Judicial Construction In The Wake Of The Nation's S & (And) L Crisis: Build A Better Status And The Fdic Will Beat A Path To Your Courtroom, Alison L. Drake
Cleveland State Law Review
This note proposes that the Fifth Circuit's opinion in handling these claims provides a better rationale than the Ninth Circuit's opinion. The first factor examined is the degree of control exercised by the corporate officer(s) who had been aware of the financial woes that the outside professionals allegedly overlooked. The second factor discussed is whether the insiders' misconduct was for or against the institution. Finally, policy considerations will be evaluated to determine whether the FDIC should be accorded the special status that immunizes it from defenses which could have been asserted against the failed thrift through imputation from the thrift's …
